Abstract


The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a fundamental bowel disorder that generates a significant health care burden. The treatment of IBS consists in lifestyle, such as diet and exercise. Butyrate and its supplementation represent potential new IBS therapy. We describe that butyrate may play a beneficial role in treatment of gastrointestinal receptors and aloe vera fermented butyrate is a possible diagnostic biomarker for IBS patients. Furthermore the roles of hyaluronane (HA) from aloe vera endophytic microbiome, for inflammatory bowel disease are discussed.
